Many of my students are very eager to learn and show their families what they have learned. Weekly homework packets give students this opportunity but unfortunately many of my students do not have the necessary tools at home to complete school work. Giving students a homework kit that contains scissors, crayons, markers, counters, and pencils gives them the needed tools as well as the confidence to complete their work. Working at a high poverty school I see many students that lack the necessary tools needed to complete their work. My goal is to give my students the necessary tools to be successful learners. Students having the ability to have the same manipulative and tools for strategies at home allow them to use what they learn at school at home.
